Crowdfunding Lawyers

Overview

The emergence of equity crowdfunding as a way of raising finance is a natural progression from traditional angel investing. Instead of asking a small number of people for a large financial investment, equity crowdfunding involves raising money from a large group of investors who typically commit to invest a smaller sum. Equity crowdfunding has enabled people to make investments which might not otherwise have been possible and has allowed companies to access finance which might not otherwise have been available to them, sometimes in a very short period of time.

Crowdfunding campaigns can be stand-alone investments, or they can form part of a larger fundraising round from alternative sources such as angel investment or the public sector.

Our Work

The foundation of our corporate practice is rooted in helping companies raise finance and crowdfunding is no exception. Over the past five years, we have seen the popularity of equity crowdfunding grow exponentially, with a huge increase in the number of crowdfunding platforms and the completion of a number of very high value crowdfunded investments. During this time we have successfully applied our industry knowledge and experience of Venture Capital & Angel Investment deals to crowdfunding campaigns. We have acted on behalf of both crowdfunding platforms and companies raising investment via equity crowdfunding in relation to standalone investments and as part of larger more complex deals.

We work closely with our clients throughout the crowdfunding campaign from launch to completion. Our work includes:
